Although the "Jiangning Treaty" was signed, this does not mean that the confrontation between China and Russia will end there.

Tsar Alexei I would not just pinch his nose and accept the treaty, and after the end of the war with Poland, the tsar would certainly be driven by revenge.

Su Yan was aware of this problem, in fact, many officials in the imperial court were also aware of this, so in order to increase his understanding of the West, Su Yan ordered the expansion of the Jinyi Guard, and sent a large number of Jinyi Guards to Europe to spy on the intelligence of European countries.

At present, the Xia Dynasty knows very little about the West, and the imperial court only knows that there are Rakshasa Kingdom, Franc Machine Kingdom, England and Holland Kingdom, and even the Franc Kingdom is actually two countries, let alone diplomatic relations between Western countries.

With the signing of the "Jiangning Treaty", the Xia Dynasty will definitely have a strong presence in Western countries, and Su Yan decided to take this opportunity to increase its contacts with Western countries.

At this time, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which was at war with Tsarist Russia, was Su Yan's first target.

As mentioned above, the signing of the "Jiangning Treaty" did not mean that the confrontation between China and Russia would end, and it was in the interests of the Xia Dynasty to let Tsarist Russia continue to consume Poland, so Su Yan decided to send a mission to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, to contact the Poles and reach a consensus on jointly targeting Tsarist Russia.

However, the question of who should be sent to Poland is the question of who should be sent to Poland, the customs and languages of the two countries are completely different, and if there is a diplomatic dispute because of the envoy, it will be more than worth the loss, so the choice of the envoy should choose those more enlightened young people, rather than the middle-aged and old people with a fixed and decadent mind.

In the whole country, only the southeast coast has the closest contact with foreigners, so the selection of envoys should first be selected from officials in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and there must be people who have dealt with foreigners and know some Xiyi language.

In the end, the imperial court selected six men from Fujian and Guangdong, and sent them to Moscow, the capital of Russia, and Warsaw, the capital of Poland, in groups of three, each with a company of Cossack cavalry as escorts.

Their mission was simple, to find out the customs of Russia and Poland and to document the war between Russia and Poland, and the mission to Poland also had the additional task of building good relations with the Polish rulers and laying the foundation for the future joint confrontation with Tsarist Russia.

……

As Su Yan expected, as the news of the signing of the "Jiangning Treaty" between China and Russia gradually spread, it quickly produced a series of chain reactions in Western countries.

The Western countries here naturally refer to the Western European colonial powers that intervened in East Asia, and Britain, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and other countries sent letters to their countries to report this shocking incident.

In the eyes of Western countries, although China is strong, it can only be arrogant in East Asia, and it will not have any impact on European countries, but after China defeated Tsarist Russia and forced the other side to cede the Far East lands, Western countries have become more vigilant against this huge Far Eastern empire.

After learning the news of the defeat of Tsarist Russia, the Dzungar Department who were still encroaching on the divided Yarkand Khanate couldn't help but feel jealous of the Xia Dynasty, and he decisively chose not to offend the Xia Dynasty, and sent a delegation to Jiangning to express his submission to the Xia Dynasty emperor and submit tribute.

The submission here does not mean that he accepts the rule of the Xia Dynasty, but expresses his willingness to become a tributary state of the Xia Dynasty, and pay tribute on time every year, in exchange for the protection and non-attack of the Xia Dynasty.

After sending a mission, the monk stepped up his attack on the Yarkand Khanate, and under his fierce offensive, the Turpan region fell into the hands of the Dzungar tribe except for the areas controlled by the Xia Dynasty, and the Black Mountain faction and the White Mountain faction of the Yarkand Khanate also fought each other in their own territory, completely deducing what is called heresy and hating foreign enemies.

Under the fierce offensive of the Dzungar army, in May of the 10th year of Wu'an, the Dzungar army captured the city of Asu (AKS), the capital of the Montenegrin Khanate, and captured the wife and child of Ismaye Khan.

At this time, Ismaye Khan, who was still on the front line with the Baishan faction's army, heard the bad news, and vomited blood on the spot, and the morale of the Montenegrin faction's army also fell because of the theft of his hometown, and was finally defeated by Yulbars Khan's army, and Ismaye Khan committed suicide on the way to escape

Dead, the Montenegrin faction was defeated.

The monk who captured Asu should have continued to lead the army westward and attack the capital of the Yarkand Khanate, Yarkand, but who would have thought that Ismaye Khan's wife was young and beautiful, and the monk coveted her appearance and *** the khan's wife after the city was broken.

The queen of Ismaye Khan was overwhelmed by the humiliation, and was devastated when she learned of her husband's death in battle, and after being *** once, she took out a dagger that she had prepared and stabbed it into the heart of the unsuspecting monk, sending the ambitious Taiji who wanted to establish the Dzungar Khanate to hell.

Later, the queen used the dagger to cut off her neck and killed herself, and the next day, Taiji's servants were horrified to find the body of the stiffened monk Taiji, and the bad news spread quickly, and the entire Dzungar army was in grief, but fell into the embarrassing situation of a group of dragons without a leader.

When Yulbars Khan heard the news that the death of the monk had given the Yarkand Khanate a respite, he was overjoyed and believed that the Lord God had blessed him in heaven, so he counted his army and marched to Assu while the army was still high in morale for defeating the Montenegrin faction, intending to regain the city.

Seeing that the Yarkand army was overwhelmed, the Dzungar army did not dare to respond to the battle without a leader, and hastily evacuated the city and returned to Turpan.

At the same time, Dzungaria was also caught up in a struggle for inheritance rights due to the sudden death of Taiji, and some nobles believed that the Sangha should be established as the youngest eldest son born to Anu the granddaughter of the Oirat's alliance lord Ozirtu Khan, and some nobles believed that the Sangha should be supported by the younger brother of Kaldan.

However, Galdan was still studying in Uszang at this time, not in the Dzungar Ministry, so those nobles who supported the establishment of the son of the monk were ready to forcibly support it, but who would have thought that Galdan ended his studies in Uszang early because of the civil strife in the Heshute Khanate.

On his way home, he learned of his brother's death, but he returned to Turpan as soon as he could, and accepted the allegiance of the Dzungar army stationed in Turpan before some nobles supported the new Taiji, succeeded his brother, and declared himself the new Dzungar Taiji, known as Galdan Hongtaiji.

At this time, although Galdan was only 19 years old, he had already appeared to be a young man after studying in Uszang and the internal wars within the Heshute Khanate, and he used thunderous means to kill those nobles who opposed his succession to the throne of Taiji, and stabilized the morale of the army.

Subsequently, in the face of the Yarkand army marching to Turpan, Galdan was in danger and commanded the Dzungar army to defeat Yulbars Khan at the city of Pengcheng, and took advantage of the situation to pursue and capture the city of Asu again.

After capturing the city of Azok, he did not stop at the city of Azok, but continued to chase the westward advance of the Yarkand army, conquering several cities in a row, and intimidating the entire Yarkand.

Under these circumstances, Yulbars Khan did not dare to fight again, and hurriedly sent an envoy to Galdan to sue for peace, expressing his willingness to return the Ili River Valley to the Dzungar Ministry and providing a large number of cattle, sheep, camels, gold, silver and jewelry in exchange for peace.

Considering that he had just inherited the throne of Taiji and that his foundation was unstable, and it was inconvenient for him to continue the war with Yarkand, he agreed to Yulbars Khan's request for peace and led his army back to Bokseri.

When Galdan returned to Bokseri, he married his brother's wife, Anu, the granddaughter of Ozirtu Khan, thus gaining the support of the Oirat League and strengthening his position.

The Western Regions temporarily fell into a truce, and the information about the various departments of the Western Regions was also continuously sent back to Jiangning City, and it didn't take long for Su Yan to learn the news of a 19-year-old boy named Gulos Galdan named Hongtaiji of the Dzungar Ministry.

For this young man named Galdan, Su Yan maintained a high degree of vigilance.

As a person of later generations, where did he not know this person, Galdan was the hero who created the world's last nomadic empire, and the Dzungar Khanate he established troubled three generations of kings of the Qing Dynasty in a row, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong before and after the three generations of emperors have successively expeditioned to Dzungaria, until 1759 in the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty finally pacified the Western Regions.

In this life, Su Yan naturally could not let Galdan rise again and establish the Dzungar Khanate that made the Central Plains Dynasty feel troublesome, and under his instruction, a holy decree was immediately issued

Sent to Khalkha Mongolia, a military operation against the Western Regions is about to begin.

After the decree was issued, in August of the tenth year of Wu'an, the Khalkha Mongol Zasaktu Khan was ordered to send troops to attack the Dzungar Department, and the Dzungar Department did not expect that the Xia Dynasty would take the initiative to provoke a war, and was caught off guard by plundering a large number of cattle and sheep population.

Although Galdan is a generation of heroes, where can his strength at this time be able to resist the powerful Xia Dynasty, although he hurriedly gathered troops and horses to resist the army of Zasaktu Khan, but he only won and lost each other, and could not stop the advance of Zasaktu Khan.

While resisting, Galdan sent an envoy to get a reason from the Xia army why he attacked him, but he couldn't figure out that he would be attacked, obviously before his brother Sangge died, he had sent a mission to Jiangning to express his submission?

However, Xia Jun's answer made his heart quickly sink into the ice valley, and Zasaktu Khan Norbu, who personally led the army to conquer, told the envoys of Galdan that it was the emperor's personal decree and ordered them to conquer the Dzungar tribe, and that the war would not stop unless Galdan submitted to the Xia Dynasty and went to Jiangning to meet the emperor in person.

Norbu's answer made Galdan difficult to accept, and he was young and vigorous and unwilling to bow his head like this, but seeing that the war could not be reversed, he had no choice but to bow to the Xia army, ask Norbu to surrender, and go to Jiangning to meet the emperor in person.
